beforesunandmoon is a simple CLI tool for terminal stargazing. It allows you to explore random spots in space and provides information about celestial objects using Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (DEC) coordinates.
Explore a random spot in space and discover what's there:
beforesunandmoon explore --radius <radius_value>
By default, the radius is set to 5000 units. You can specify a custom radius using the --radius
flag.
Pick a specific spot in space and find out what's there:
beforesunandmoon whatshere --ra <ra_value> --dec <dec_value> --radius <radius_value>
Specify the Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (DEC) values along with an optional radius using the respective flags.
Get information about Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (DEC) coordinates:
